With beautifully sung harmonies, unique instrumentals and interesting rhythms this album plays like the soundtrack for the start of summer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Track three, \u201cSame Roads,\u201d tells the story of a person caught wandering the same wrong paths in life again and again. Try as they might to break through and live a new life, the writer stays caught in the&nbsp; same tracks: \u201cI keep walking the same roads again; that road keeps breaking me down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The very next track, \u201cReally Great,\u201d picks listeners up from the disposition of old ways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An interesting song to note is \u201cConfetti.\u201d The story of this song is of a wealthy older woman who has a lesson to teach her \u201cmoney grubbing children.\u201d Since she can\u2019t take her great wealth with her to the otherside, the woman chooses to have her riches used as confetti at her funeral.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe had this one idea<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To teach her money hungry children<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That stuff is temporary<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you just can\u2019t take it with you when you go.\u201dSweet Alibi has gifted listeners with a fresh and upbeat sound. It makes me want to throw the windows open or take a walk somewhere the sun is shining. An exploration of oneself and what is most valuable in life, <em>Make a Scene<\/em> is sure to make an impression on all who hear it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Matt Harrison Released in late January 2022, Make a Scene is the newest album from Winnipeg\u2019s own Sweet Alibi.
